Good news about pecans and heart health, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pecans,
as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
One serving of pecans (28g) has 18g unsaturated fat and only 2g saturated fat.
